Borneo And Brunei Or Where?

[wolf63]

I am sorting out postcards from the two above places to sell for Charity.

I know that both of these places are on the same landmass. Would be okay to sell them as one item or to split them into two items? Are they in the same country?

Kuching, Sarawak is this in Borneo? Malaysia?

I know that Geography is not a strength of mine - I have only just discovered where New Zealand is - I'm sure that it has moved since I was a kid.

// Borneo is not classified as a country as it is governed by three separate sovereign political powers. The countries are Indonesia, Brunei and Malaysia.//

Sarawak is a state in Malaysia (on the island of Borneo). Its capital is Kuching.

Brunei is a very small independent nation, also on the island of Borneo, which is otherwise divided up between Malaysia and Indonesia: https://ibb.co/CM8SbGW

I'd bundle the cards together.

Thanks to all three of you but I am still confuggled.

There are only about a dozen postcards (all unused) and I will batch them together.

We get donations of some lovely cards. :-)

. . . but I am still confuggled

Does this make it any clearer . . . ?

Borneo is an island that lies to the east of mainland Malaysia. Malaysia owns a bit of it, which includes the state of Sarawak. Indonesia (which is further east) owns most of the rest of it. However a very small part of the island is an independent country in its own right, called Brunei.

Chris, thanks that makes it so much clearer (not).
I go through life in a confuggled state.

Thanks for your help (as always).
